Founded in a warehouse in industrial Ballard in 1983 by two brothers with a vision, as passionate paddlers of the Northwest waterways they wanted to create a line of dry bags that would reliably seal out water and ensure a dry and safe (and thus more fun) excursion.

Seattle Sports became one of the first companies to manufacture dry bags using radio-frequency seam welding, a method that uses the heat of high frequency waves and pressure from the welding press to create a molecular bond.

Seattle Sports has expanded its product line to include not only dry bags, but paddling and car top accessories, personal electronics cases, bike panniers and lights, camping gear, boat carts, and more.

Today, Seattle Sports carries the torch of innovation, drawing inspiration from its legacy of domestic manufacturing and from the Pacific Northwest, a one-of-a-kind outdoor playground the brand calls home.
